KSI Labels Wade Plemons an “Annoying Waste of Oxygen” After Criticizing Jake Paul and His Team

KSI’s Heated Response to Wade Plemons’ Comments

Olajide “JJ,”widely recognized as “KSI,”has recently engaged in a public exchange with fellow YouTuber Wade Plemons. The controversy ignited on March 21, 2025, when Plemons took to X (formerly Twitter) to commend Dillon Danis before his scheduled boxing match against KSI. Plemons asserted that Danis was largely responsible for the promotional effort surrounding the event and commented on KSI’s health status, stating:

“Also for all the s**t that was talked about Dillon Danis ‘pulling out’ of this fight, credit where it is due he was going to show up. This event was being carried promo wise by him and I get that KSI is sick, but I gotta give Dillon some credit here. He was ready to go 💪🏻”

This post attracted significant attention, racking up over 3.8 million views. KSI’s reaction, however, was far from amicable. He labeled Plemons an “annoying waste of oxygen”and criticized him for his apparent sycophancy towards Jake Paul and his team. KSI’s comments included:

“Stfu you annoying waste of oxygen. Surely your knees must hurt so much at this point from sucking off Jake Paul and his team all the f**king time. GIVE IT A REST OMG. YOU THINK I WANT TO BE IN THIS SITUATION? WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU!?”

KSI Withdraws from Fight with Dillon Danis

In a further development, KSI announced on March 21, 2025, through a one-minute-and-35-second video on X, that his highly anticipated fight with Dillon Danis, originally scheduled for March 29, is “just not going to happen.”KSI revealed that he has been feeling unwell for several weeks, stating:

“Me versus Danis, it’s just not going to happen on March 29, man. I’ve tried my hardest, but my body has legit just given up. I’m currently in bed taking antibiotics trying to recover but I’m struggling. I’m coughing up greenish-yellow s**t all the time.”

Dillon Danis later responded to KSI’s announcement, questioning KSI’s credibility given his participation in the Sidemen Charity Match just two weeks prior while claiming to be unwell.
